Naruto’s New Sequel Debunks Major Fan Theory After Nearly A Decade

by

For nearly ten years, a widely-held theory about the future of the Naruto universe, specifically concerning Boruto, has been a major topic of discussion among fans. However, the next installment in the series is expected to definitively prove this theory wrong.

The newest anime in the Boruto series will likely adapt the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga, which started in 2023 and was created by Masashi Kishimoto. Fans who have read the manga already have an idea of what to expect in the upcoming anime, as it follows the events of Two Blue Vortex.

People who haven’t seen the later parts of the anime might be surprised to learn that certain clues suggest a popular Boruto theory isn’t likely to be true. Fans of Naruto have always created interesting theories about what might happen next, and some of those predictions have actually come true in the show and manga.

However, when you look at what happens later in the anime, this theory doesn’t really match the story.

Boruto Taking Place Within Madara’s Infinite Tsukuyomi Has Been A Persistent Naruto Theory

One popular theory about the Boruto and Naruto series suggests the entire Boruto story takes place inside Madara’s Infinite Tsukuyomi. While never confirmed by the official storyline, it initially seemed plausible. The unusually long period of peace in the Hidden Leaf Village, the complete end of major conflicts, the fast development of new technology, and the surprising partnerships with former enemies all felt a little strange, lending some weight to the idea.

Compared to the intense and often troubled storylines of Naruto: Shippuden, the world of Boruto initially felt overly peaceful. The lack of major conflicts made it seem almost as if the characters were living in a fantasy or dream.

The way Naruto’s dreams perfectly matched what happened in Boruto made fans even more suspicious. He achieved his lifelong goal of becoming Hokage and finally earned the respect he always wanted. While these happy events fit the show’s overall message, they led viewers to wonder if Naruto had also been tricked by Madara’s Infinite Tsukuyomi illusion.

The ending of Naruto: Shippuden sparked some interesting questions, even if it wasn’t intentional. While the Infinite Tsukuyomi was resolved, many fans wondered if the change in tone when Boruto began was a subtle hint about something more.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Finally Dismisses The Theory For Good

The Boruto manga is moving quickly through the final parts of the current storyline, called “Omnipotence,” and will soon start the next arc, “Two Blue Vortex.” The beginning of “Two Blue Vortex” will introduce a surprising reveal: the characters are unknowingly living in a false reality that’s been rewritten. This new reality was unintentionally created by Kawaki and is incredibly large, sharing similarities with the altered reality seen in the show WandaVision.

Given that Two Blue Vortex starts with a story about a false reality, it wouldn’t be logical for the show to then reveal that this reality is also just another layer of illusion created by Madara’s Infinite Tsukuyomi. While it’s not impossible, Naruto‘s past storytelling suggests it generally avoids piling twist on top of twist to the point where the core conflicts lose their meaning.

With the main conflicts largely resolved in both Boruto and Naruto, the series hasn’t revisited those old issues with contrived plot points. Plus, since Boruto: Blue Two Vortex began publishing in 2023, the theory about the Infinite Tsukuyomi appears to have been proven false.

Naruto’s New Sequel Will Do A Lot More Than Debunk The Infinite Tsukuyomi Theory

The Boruto: Two Blue Vortex arc is shaping up to be one of the strongest storylines the anime has produced in a long time, and for good reason. Not only does it disprove theories about the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but it also dramatically changes the power dynamics within the series. The new villains introduced are incredibly powerful – so much so that they make even legendary figures like Itachi and Madara seem relatively weak.

At first, Boruto had a hard time standing out from the earlier Naruto series and was often seen as a weaker sequel. Many people still compare it unfavorably to the original. But the new Two Blue Vortex arc in the anime seems poised to finally establish Boruto as its own unique story.

The story is getting more complex and the stakes are much higher, but it’s also starting to feel like its own unique series, rather than just relying on what made Naruto popular. Fans are hoping the next episode of the Boruto anime lives up to expectations.
